Dear Mr Ankur Bhatnagar,

Thank you for your mail. As one not associated with
any government or professional institution, I do not
presume any mandate for advocacy of alternatives and,
on old-fashioned principle, do not collaborate on
areas (eg, PRT) in which I have neither specialized
qualification nor issues arising from professional
experience. I think you might be confusing me with
someone else, so I am copying this to two mail-lists
for information of others.

Best regards,
Gita Dewan Verma, Planner
